CREATING COMMUNITY
At Seattle Weight Loss Bootcamp, our goal is not only to help you get fit and live in your body with pleasure, we also want to be a place where women can come together to create new, health conscious connections and share their ongoing commitment to fitness. As a companion to our goal oriented daily programs, our Community Page is the place to find upcoming SWLB related events that support the continued fitness experience of the women in our program.
T-SHIRT SLOGAN CONTEST
Yes, finally we are creating T-shirts for our 2009 Spring/Summer season! When I originally began talking about slogans, it was my Dad who really cinched the importance of a contest to find the perfect one. After I'd sent out an email to friends and family asking for their ideas, my Dad, a very mild mannered sweet man, wrote back, "Oh Honey, I have the perfect thing. How about: Running In The Grass Is Great For My___!".
Cute and quite true. Thanks for getting the ball rolling Dad!
Your Slogan Contest entry can take any attitude, funny, crass, business-minded or straight from my mouth, like "Hoop It Out", as suggested by Katherine, our first official entrant.
How To Enter:
Email your slogans here: slogan@seattleweightlossbootcamp.com and enter as many slogans as you like. Brainstorming is what we're after. If you have cute ideas for graphics to go along with your slogan, send those too!
Deadline for entries is June 15th, 2009, after which we will send out finalists entries and go for the vote! As slogans come in between now and deadline, we'll be sending them out via email for pre-view.
Winner: the final winner will receive a day of luxury spa treatments at Habitude in Ballard. Runner's up will receive Habitude gift cards worth $75.

HEALTH AND FITNESS RESOURCES
The Diet Cure by Julia Ross
Another excellent whole food lifestyle eating plan, this book shatters the myths behind unhealthy food behaviors to reveal the real causes of overeating and weight gain- including depleted brain chemistry caused by too much dieting and inadequate protein, unstable blood sugar, hormone irregularities, food addictions and a deficiency of "good" fats. This program uses amino acid supplement therapy and high quality organic food choices to get the body and mind back on track. The author does advise teaming up with your doctor for best results. This book can be found new and used online.
The Fat Flush Plan By Ann Louise Gittleman
We love The Fat Flush Plan! A whole food detox and lifestyle plan to lose weight, cleanse your body and lead a healthier life by eating foods that flush away fat while building vitality and strength. To make her plan even easier, the author, Ann Louise Gittleman has created a line of organic convenience foods to accompany the plan. Ann Louise Signature Foods, her book, The Fat Flush Plan, and several supportive Fat Flush communities can all be found online.
